The Workgroup Server 9650 233 and 9650 350 ship with a PCI Ultra SCSI JackHammer SE card pre-installed. This card is a high performance, single-ended, accelerated PCI to SCSI host adapter card that dramatically increases performance of SCSI devices connected to it. The JackHammer SE card is a PCI device that creates a high-speed interface between the CPU and disk drive. The JackHammer can transfer data through the Ultra SCSI-3 portion of the card at rates up to 40 MB s as allowed by the SCSI-3...

The DIMM is keyed so that it fits into the DIMM slot only one way. Be sure to align the notches in the DIMM with the small ribs inside the slot. Replacement Note Push down firmly and evenly on the DIMM until you hear it snap into place. The internal hard disk drive SCSI ID 0 is connected to the Ultra Wide SCSI-3 bus. The internal hard disk drive SCSI ID 0 is connected to the Ultra Wide SCSI-3 bus. You can install a SCSI device in this expansion bay and connect it to the Ultra Wide SCSI-3 bus....

No preliminary steps are required before you begin this procedure. Carefully lay the computer on its side. Press the release button and lift up the side access panel a few inches. Slide the panel to the right and lift it off. Before replacing the side access panel, be sure to secure the Ultra Wide cable with the Velcro tie wrap on the bottom drive carrier so that the cable doesn't interfere with the fan.

This section covers problems you may experience when the Jack Hammer Ultra SCSI card is installed in the WS 9650. 1 Devices attached to JackHammer do not appear on Desktop 3 System has bootup problems primarily a blank gray screen Check each device and make sure all have unique SCSI IDs. Make sure all devices at ends of the SCSI bus are properly terminated. Make sure all cables are securely connected. Incorrectly seated cables may exhibit burn marks.
